I know it could sound ridiculous, but it occured to me a couple of weeks ago and for some reason it's really grown on me? I just love how natural and sensitive it sounds. Grin

Terrible!!

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 05/08/2018 19:11

Call him Coriander? Or James...

Lynne1Cat · 05/08/2018 19:11

No, it's terrible and ridiculous. He'd be bullied and ridiculed his whole life.

ResurrectedGoldfish · 05/08/2018 19:11

Good god no. Please don’t call your child Parsley.

If you go on to have more children, how about Sage, Rosemary and Thyme?

Pregnancy hormones have addled your brain. Parsley is a completely ridiculous name - unless your a Guineas pig.

It's a fine name for a lion.

The name Paprika has more of a kick to it imo.

Im pretty open minded when it comes to unusual names, and I’m a fan of names inspired by nature...but I’d find this a bit of a stretch tbh. I’m not sure why, because Basil wouldn’t raise an eyebrow in me. But Parsley I just can’t come to I’m afraid...

MercianQueen · 05/08/2018 19:08

Only if he's a lion

Redtartanshoes · 05/08/2018 19:08

No

I prefer Oregano

Nanasueathome · 05/08/2018 19:08

May be......

chicken75 · 05/08/2018 19:08

Hmm please don't op

LaContessaDiPlump · 05/08/2018 19:07

What?! No. Seriously, just no.

Nanasueathome · 05/08/2018 19:07

I may actually lost for words but am watching this thread to see what response you get

TheNavigator · 05/08/2018 19:07

As you stated, it sounds ridiculous. This is another human being you are naming, remember, not just your cute accessory.

Slatternsdelight · 05/08/2018 19:07

A comedian eh?
